We have been here 4 nights so far and I wish I could say we were checked out , but unfortunately we have 3 more nights to go. We usually stay at the Hyatt, but it was sold out this trip and we had heard Lao Lao was a safe hotel.
The pros : The rooms are ok, with a kitchen sink and coffee pot, tile floors, balcony overlooking the bay and average size. The staff is very nice and it does feel safe.
The cons: The balcony railings are severely deteriorating and chunks of the foundation are missing so don't lean against it, the pool has very limited hours (11-7), there is no beach access, there is 1 restaurant that is pricey and sorely lacking in quality (we tried it 2x), the location is very remote and to get anywhere you must have a rental car, and most importantly you will NOT get a full nights sleep. We have had issues ALL 4 nights! We've had no power issues for 2 of the nights and lights flashing on and off, we had a fire alarm go off for over an hour 1 night around 2 -3am. When I called the front desk, I was told there is no fire, yet the alarms continued and NO announcement it wasn't a real fire. This happened AGAIN the next night, although not as long.
